“The Making of Men” propels us to look beyond the accepted narratives that lie beneath our daily rituals and code of conduct, using photography to reveal the construction and perpetual reinforcement of the male identity.  Graves and Lipman merge their photographic appetites to capture the rituals, ceremonies, and moments in American culture wherein boys are made into men. “The Making of Men” gives us the slivers of experience that help build the social and cultural superstructure that currently defines manhood in America.”
